Title: Cleaning 2nd floor, railings
Post by: garyfindlay on October 31, 2009, 11:55:10 pm
How would you clean 2nd floor windows with railings. I currently have started wfp, and would like to add to my round, but 2nd floor has railings in front of windows. I don`t fancy putting a ladder 2 flights up. What is the alternative?

turn the brush onto it's side, most of these can be cleaned this way  ;)

u can use a very long pole, i use wfp as easier, u have to get in between the railing and can be  a pain,   can you get inside and open them and do from in side as trad  as this would be best if possible

can u get a brush in from the side, i have a door over a con that takes me ages and have to do part from the side

clean above the railing as normal then if you coose the correct bar to go through (middleish), by turning the brush side on and slipping through the bars. all of one door can be done by working at an angle to clean one side and frames, coming back to centre clean the middle and then  the opposite angle for the sides and frames. no ladders needed. even if its a balcony can be cleaned the same way.

I can manage the straight up and down bars easily enough with my swivel brush as stated above.
I have some with diagonal bars that are a bit more tricky.
The ones that I have like this are done through the small gap at the bottom. go right up to the wall and look up, you may find that there is enough clearance to get your brush in.
